Paging Mister Noah.

Seriously, water at that depth would be super-saturated, basically steam compressed so much it is a liquid. I’m not even sure if it could hold contaminants like metals or salts.

What you and I can do and what God can do are two entirely different things, right?

I used to listen to Dr. Demento on the radio ...

I was young and impressionable.

water-credits modeled on carbon credits? ‘investments’ aimed at farmers? now that’s a scary thought for food prices - and for farmers!

(from your article:)

“A water-related investment could potentially shield retailers from water-induced market fluctuations and protect against price hikes or from having to source too often from more expensive options, for example overseas. It will also reduce the need to over-contract, which is currently required to ensure that the quantity of produce demanded by our customers is delivered even when there is poor weather...”

Well ... God made all things, seen and unseen ... but that isn’t really the issue with me. The fountains of the deep, as stated in the Bible, were certainly one of those things he created, but I don’t see the Ringwoodite as being those fountains of the deep.

I don’t think those fountains of the deep are there any longer, but have been used up and the remaining amount of water given up back then is now in the oceans that we see with us today.

Again, it has nothing to do with what God “can do” but with what he “did do” ... :-) ...

What would it take to retrieve the liquid water from that Ringwoodite?

I can’t tell you specifically, but I would venture a guess that it would be akin to a “mining process”.
